A bit late on this, but when can we expect the new rewrite of Lemmy's UI? It seems like a big task.

MODERATORS
- How do you feel about ads on the internet?
- What are your thoughts on the sustainability of FOSS?
- Ads have made so much of the internet borderline unusable, to the point that browsing without an adblocker is not an option.
- It remains to be seen, but I'm hopeful. The biggest issue is compensation for open source devs labor time. I think the liberapay / patreon / recurring donation model, is the best way forward. Devs don't need much, and most of the software we use every day is worked on by a small number of people, who should be paid for their work. If they got paid as much as the average youtuber with a patreon, FOSS would be in great shape.
Is there any limitations with the database (postgres)?. I know postgres is one of the best (maybe even best) monolith database (running on one node) at the moment, but will the space be enough? With this in mind, has there been any consideration of migrating to a distributed database like ScyllaDB or CassanraDB to alleviate potential space constraints? On the other hand, if Lemmy doesn't intend to store data for long periods, maybe the capacity of Postgres would suffice. Any thoughts or plans on this? I appreciate your insights on this matter.

Any thoughts on the "federated community" discussion? I find both positions to have merit, but I think I'm leaning towards community aggregation as an option.

Do you plan a mod queue?
Where either in active mode hides the post and only after approval reveals itself or passive just have an queue for mods to see all the posts to double check?
We currently have a mod-queue already, where mods and admins can view reports.

I recently submitted a PR for stopping pictrs image federation. IMO the images themselves do not need to be downloaded when served by another pictrs instance. This would reduce the amount of diskspace and reduce the burden of hosting images that are unwanted by the instance owners.
What are your thoughts on this, and do you think this will be merged? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3799
Is there a use case for a user creating their own Lenny instance for their own use?
